The suspect, Nika Nikoubin, met the victim on Plenty of Fish and the two met for a date at Sunset Station. They then rented a room and, while having sex, Nikoubin allegedly blindfolded the victim and turned off the lights.

She then allegedly stabbed the victim in the neck. The victim ran out of the room and sought help, while Nikoubin also ran out of the room and allegedly confessed to her crime. According to news reports, the suspect told police she committed the crime in retaliation for the U.S. killing of Iranian Quds Force leader Soleimani in 2020. Nikoubin apparently had no ties to the Las Vegas area.
